UP FRONT. I WOULD RATHER BE HEAVY IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR. I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST GEATTING ALL ALUM, IF YOU CAN AND A V FRONT TO HELP WHAT LITTLE IT CAN ON THE GAS MILEAGE. 20 FT IS PLENT BIG AND THERES ALOT OF XTRA ROOM TO MOVE AROUND IN IT WHEN THE CAR IS TIED DOWN.

MH;

I already have a 20 ft Pace being built to my specs, so it's too late for the aluminum suggestion.

May I ask what truck you're pulling with, and, if it's a 3/4 ton, have you noted how much your truck squats after you've loaded your car(before with empty trailer, versus after with car loaded)?
